That's The Way It Is (Single Version)

That's the Way It Is - Daniel Lanois

The many miles we walked

The many things we learned

The building of a shrine

Only just to burn

May the wind be at your back

Good fortune touch your hand

May the cards lay out a straight

All from your command

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

Blue heron leaves the northern sky

Trusts the journey to new heights

What's the meaning of the scar

If we don't learn how to heal

Should we ever be apart

Then how does it feel

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

Shine light into darkness

Shine light into darkness

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

So many miles to walk

That's the way it is

So many things we've got to learn

That's the way it is

Oh that's the way it is

That's the way it is

Ohho

That's the way it is
